Learning Circle

Learning Circle:

Today in class we had a learning circle. That is where we get into small groups and we shared what we had done so far for our passion projects. We got to share for three minutes, then we had one minute where the others in our group could talk and ask questions. It was really good, and Orla showed me a website that she says is really good. I had started to use a different site called Snapfish but when I went to show it to Lotte, Isis, and Orla it didn't show up so I might have to make it again. I arranged a mentor meeting for a week away. This weekend I am going to redo some things on my blog because I learnt some things I can do for it. I also want to do my website again because it doesn't look very good at the moment.

Fourteenth Entry ~ 25/7

Our school holidays just finished. I did quite a bit in the holidays. I created a youtube channel so I can put the videos of how to make the things I make on there. I made three videos and put them on there. Click here to go to my youtube channel. My nanny finished with us so I can't use Lulu anymore which is really really annoying.

Thirteenth Entry ~ 13/6

Yesterday I made Cinnamon Cookies. I did something wrong because you were supposed to be able to roll out the mixture, but I wasn't able to do that so I had to just make small balls with the mixture again. I had my second mentor meeting on Thursday and I decided I was going to create website because now days everyone uses the internet to find recipes for baking. I also decided that I am going to email Martin( Our school cook) and ask him if I can come and visit him to het some advice on things like, how to make the mixture be able to roll and what things can I change in a recipe before it won't work?Click here to see my website. I am currently creating videos of the baking process that I will put on my website and on my blog. Next weekend I want to bake another type of treat but I need to go to the supermarket again to get some more things. Some of the girls in my class tried the dog treats because I had them at school to show my mentor and they tried them because they are made out of things that humans would eat just with more sugar probably. They said they tasted good but a bit bland.

Twelfth Entry ~ 13/6

Last weekend I went to the supermarket with my mum and we bought five things there so I could start testing dog treats. I ended up spending $21.45 there. 
I decided that I would start testing dog treats because they are just easier to test and I just felt like doing it. I made Almond Honey Spheres and Oat Balls( I made up the names).  Nero loved both of them and ate every last crumb. Lulu ate both of them but she didn't want to eat crumbs of the floor so Nero eat it for her. Molly ate both of them in one gulp. Tiggy ate the Almond Honey Spheres but not the oat balls. I haven't heard from Sue what Poppy ate so I need to find that out. I ended up left with some Rye flour and some of the two different types of oats. from this experiment I have found that I will need to make the balls a bit smaller so the dogs can eat them more easier.

Eleventh Entry ~ 4/6

Today I have created a list of all the things I am going to need to buy at the supermarket. I have put seven things on that list. Because the recipes I am using are German, I had to search up a lot of things to make sure we could get them at the supermarket here. I was allowed to use a few things from home because we had a lot of it and I only need a bit of it. Mum is going to take me to the supermarket today or tomorrow. After I have got all the things I need I will start testing. We have Monday off next week because it's Queens birthday so I have an extra day off school to test.

Tenth Entry! ~ 3/6

I was going to start testing last weekend but I stupidly left my recipes at school so I couldn't. I will start testing this weekend though. My mum and I have decided that it is to hard to create a budget yet, so what I going to do is just buy the things I need and write down how much they cost and everything like that, and then later on we will make a budget so it will be easier to make. I have organised a meeting with my mentor for Thursday next week, so that is really exciting. I am going to create three bags of food which I can give to Olivia for her dog, and I will give my brother two to give to his friends.

Ninth Entry ~ 23/5

In the weekend my books I got out from the library about baking for dog's and raw nutrition for dog's were due back so we went to the library and returned them but I wanted to look for more books and the baking for dog's book was really good and I am going to use some of those recipes in my book because they had a lot of really good recipes. I also found another big book about dogs but I only used a few pages out of that. The next day mum took me to her work and we photocopied all the pages I wanted out of the books, so now I have a lot of pages of information. Mum said that we don’t have to have an exact number for my budget but I need to find out a bit more about how much these things will cost before I make a budget. I am allowed to use my friend Olivia’s small dog for my experiment. Our friends have also said that I can use their old golden retriever and our other friends said I can also use their young golden retriever. I need to plan a mentor meeting because it is the fourth week so I can arrange a mentor meeting so that is good but I need to look at the list of things that Victoria gave me first.
